Heart Rate While Running

While I was getting ready to head to the gym last night, I saw my girl Lauren Graham on E! News.She was talking about how using a heart rate monitor helped her so much in losing those last couple of pounds. She said that she works at 65% to 85% of her maximum heart rate. That got me thinking, what heart rate zone do I work in?Should I even care?

I really liked my treadmill hike from the other night, so I decided to do that one again.First, I ran/walked a mile.I held on to the heart rate monitor on the treadmill right after my first mile.I was at a heart rate of 172.Then I started my hike.The super inclines must really be a lot of work (that explains the sweat buckets) because the highest heart rate I hit was 176.After the hike, I did another mile of run/walking and checked my heart rate again.This time it was 173.All of this was cool to know, but did not mean much to me…yet.

I got home and started Googleing heart rates.I learned that my maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220-30(age)).According to what I read, I was working at about 90% of my MHR.I also found that working up to 90% of your MHR will help you reach optimal conditioning.This was all really good information to know.I plan to track my heart rate the next few times I work out and see what results I get.

Do you track your heart rate?Do you work toward a certain heart rate goal?Do you think a target heart rate is helpful in weight loss or athletic training?
